With massive changes on tap, it gave players the opportunity to prove their worth to newly hired general manager Dave Gettleman. Some seized that opportunity while others did not.

Stock up: Cornerback Ross Cockrell

Cockrell passed the eye test on Sunday against the Redskins, but film and advanced analytics made it clear his performance was top-notch. The late free agent pick-up was targeted a team-leading nine times, allowing just three receptions for 35 yards. Cockrell also recorded three passes defensed and one interception.

Stock down: Tight end Jerell Adams

Adams had an opportunity on Sunday to show new general manager Dave Gettleman he deserves a spot on the roster moving forward. Instead, he was 0-for-3 on targets with two drops, including one that was an easy touchdown. It was not the sort of showing he wanted or needed.
